Great Head

by Logan From CANTON, OHIO

The price of this head is relatively low compared to other heads and the performance is equal to those heads if not better. I've used this head in the rain, in mud, in the snow, and in 20 degree weather. Pair this with some semi-soft mesh and you can do anything.

Pros:

Stiff Wide Great scoop Good Ball Stop

Cons:

Was warped slightly at the end of my season but that is something that just happens

Best defensive head out there

by Conner - verified purchaser From DENNING

Over all, this is one of the best heads OVERALL for its price. Definitely worth the 5 stars.

Pros:

This head has to be one of the best heads out there with the defensive player in mind. I have used the x10 for a season and played with the hammer but they just don't compare. Both the x10 and the Hammer warp pretty easily and they aren't as stiff right out of the box. Great for ground balls.

Cons:

The head his a little wide if you want to play LSM. For close defense it's great, just like all the other defense heads out there. If you want to use it for kind pole middie or crease attack, you should pinch the inner wall, that's what I did. It helps te stringing too.

Good for D, not for LSM

by Matt - verified purchaser From LOS ANGELES, CA

This is a great defensive head. It is incredibly durable (the only head i haven't broken so far. it's lasted me almost 2 seasons)and hurts like a b**** to get hit with. If you play LSM though, this thing is insanely hard to shoot with...it is in no way shape or form accurate and most of my shots go wide. If you're looking for a good LSM head, get a STX Super Power.

Pros:

Great for ground balls, stiff and incredibly strong, if you string it well it throws great

Cons:

Pinch the pocket a tad because at times it's hard to hold on to the ball (especially if you play LSM like i do)

Proton U

by Chris - verified purchaser From MIDDLETOWN, DE

This head has been my primary offseason head for summer and fall ball so far, and I love the thing. Easy to snag passes out of the air with, the gb's are a cinch, and offensive players cringe with a solid poke or cuff slap. I love the thing

Pros:

Stiffness Durability Wide Great GBs Sturdy Feel

Cons:

Stringing can be a pain at first, it makes a strange pocket if you don't get the right pattern down. Once I figured out a solid pattern it was great though.

STX Proton U

by Jackson - verified purchaser From COLUMBIA, MO

This head in a beast for defense. The scoop is solid, so you can really throw pokes. The head is incredibly stiff and sturdy, so i can throw slaps and lifts without being afrad of it breaking. the face shape is great for ground balls and snagging passes out of the air. I personally like this head better than the x10 because its a lot sturdier and stiffer, as well as cheaper.

Pros:

Great face shape for defense, Good stiffness, Very sturdy, easy to string

Cons:

nothing really, maybe make the sidewall holes at the top a tad bigger, just because i like triangle top strings

Proton U - Great Defense Head

by M - verified purchaser From TACOMA, WASHINGTON

This head is a good deal for the price. It's great for picking off passes and throwing hard checks. If you want something more pinched, definitely find a different head, but I was able to string it up with some pretty good hold and good channel. I only got to use it for one season, because the sidewall snapped clean through down by the shaft on a slap check on our second to last game. Overall a great head for the price. I'd guess it's probably not great for A/M but on a pole, it works pretty well.

Pros:

Price Stiffness Stringing holes

Cons:

Durability

STX Proton U

by S - verified purchaser From NY

Got this over the winter and paired it up with a Brine Swizzle Scandium long pole. Strung it up myself and the rest is history. So far it's held up very well and there's minimal signs of wear on the head. Excellent STX product.

Pros:

Stiff head; good for poke checks and generally annoying attackmen and midi's. Stringing options; this head has a ton of holes, compared to what I had before, for just about any pocket you want to string up.

Cons:

Some of the stringing holes are smaller than those on other STX heads. Could be pinched a little more for a little better ball handling.

The strongest there is

by Augman - verified purchaser From LIVE FREE OR DIE (PLAYING LACROSSE) IN NH

Love this head...the price point, specs (hs and ncaa) and durability make this a winner for me.

Pros:

Virtually indestructible...gives and takes a beating without any sign of failing anytime soon. The prestrung pocket is good quality and traditional in color - despite what your "lax bros" might say, lacrosse isn't about style, but more about lifestyle.

Cons:

Nothing, nada, zilch.

Great head, nice stringing by Sportstop

by Rob - verified purchaser From SOJO, UT

Matched this with the Adistrike titanium stick (was a deal of the week) and they make a nice combo for under 90 bucks. I am a fan of STX and this doesn't disappoint...

Pros:

Nice head with excellent stringing of hard mesh by Sportstop

Cons:

It is a minor annoyance that STX heads have different mounting screw placement that most others. I guess they want you to buy their sticks...

great head on both sides of the field

by cam - verified purchaser From GEORGIA

this is a great head for middies and d guys. it can even be used on attack if you dont mind the stiffness. it is hard to get used to if you have always played with non ncaa heads. strings easily and creates a great pocket.
